At present, the actual situation of compulsory education in China is based on the "six-three system" (that is, the six-year primary school system and the three-year middle school system), and various educational systems coexist. There are still a few areas that implement eight-year compulsory education, that is, five years in primary school and three years in secondary school, but these areas are also trying to realize the transition from eight-year system to nine-year system.
From the perspective of China's education system, nine-year or eight-year compulsory education includes two stages: primary school compulsory education and junior high school compulsory education. School-age children and adolescents who have completed nine or eight years of compulsory education in compulsory education schools according to regulations can reach the educational level of junior high school graduation.
Meaning of obligation:
Including parents and families have the obligation to let school-age children go to school, the state has the obligation to establish schools to promote learning and let citizens enjoy education, and the whole society has the obligation to eliminate all kinds of adverse effects that hinder the healthy development of school-age children. In the European Reformation Movement in the16th century, Protestant countries advocated extensive education in order to promote religious education.
Compulsory education is a national education that school-age children and adolescents must accept according to law and is guaranteed by the state, society and family. Its essence is a system of compulsory education for school-age children and adolescents for a certain period of time in accordance with the provisions of the law. Compulsory education is also called compulsory education and free compulsory education. Compulsory education is compulsory, free and universal. ?
